Skyrmions in a half-filled second Landau level

We studied charged excitations of the ν=5/2 fractional quantum Hall state allowing for spin depolarization. It is generally accepted that the ground state is a spin-polarized incompressible quantum liquid, adiabatically connected to the Pfaffian state, whose spin-polarized quasiholes (QHs) obey non-...
